Are VA Doctors documenting a crime that needs to be reported and investigated in the following example?

The VA has a position called a Field Examiner and part of their role is to ensure veteran's funds and other benefits are being administered properly and they are not being exploited. I don't know what the process is for them to become involved.

I'd think about the only way they could protect the veteran would be to determine that he needs inpatient care, then get him to agree to it if he hasn't been found incompetent by a court of law and a guardian appointed. In most states, getting an incompetency judgement against someone is difficult.
But, that would get him away from the landlord. Emotional abuse rarely enters into a criminal realm because the victim is competent and making choices. Essentially, it isn't illegal to be a horrible person if you aren't physically harming people. However, if someone isn't mentally competent, their guardian can step in and get them out of the situation.
